That just paves over the problem to pretend it isn't one.

Like: Teachers donate their vacation days so colleague can spend time with child dying of cancer.

OK that was nice. But why the hell was that necessary? The headline is wrong.

The headline should be: System allows the parents of dying children no time off to be with them.

Or

Teen denied a motorized chair by insurance company has one built by students.

This 'acknowledgement of niceness' is just pretending the horrible shit is just natural, it's not, it's man made.

The uplifting news in this scenario would be one that marks the end of the need for actions like that.

Reply to Does Don Winslow introduce endless female characters just to write explicitly about their bodies and sex lives? by hammnbubbly

I'm not familiar with the series. That's not my usual genre though, so no surprise there. Some authors tend to stick to the conventions of the genre they're writing for though, because that's what their readers expect.

Could that be the case? Or is this guy just a thirsty perv who takes it out of his pants to put it on the page?
